Fox just cut three comedies from its lineup: “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “The Mick,” and “The Last Man on Earth.”
The Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher-led show is just about to wrap is fifth (and now final) season, while Kaitlin Olson’s “The Mick” and Will Forte’s “The Last Man on Earth” already aired their Season 2 and Season 4 closers, respectively.
A Fox insider told TheWrap the network’s added night of “Thursday Night Football” and “a large portion of our new series renewed” as reasons for the trio of cancellations.
While fans appear to be devastated by the news, the cancellations shouldn’t come as a complete shock, based on the shows’ ratings, which had each of them on the bubble.
